thezeinerts (spoiler i guess) By far the most comical "horror" film I have ever watched. The acting is so horrible along with the god awful sceipt and dialogue. Not to mention how crappy the special effects are. The only great thing about this movie is Coolio's "interesting" display as a vampire. If you want an unintentional parody of "alien" with good actors and hilarious scenes this movie is a masterpiece. Immediately after starting the movie i wanted to kill myself.Funny as all hell but in a bad way.

Stevieboy666 This is a cheap looking, corny as hell bad movie, no question. But it really doesn't deserve it's current 2/10 score, I have seen much worse than this. I don't recall seeing a Dracula movie set in the future before, certainly not in space, so some credit for that (though yes, it's very silly, but hey, what about Jason X?)Langley Kirkwood does make a feeble Count & Udo Kier looks embarrassed but there's some fun with Coolio & Tommy Lister, plus Erika Eleniak is very easy on the eye. The spaceships like they came from a 1970's TV show but that added to it's charm. I found it to be bad but in an amusing way & at 83 minutes it passes quite quickly.

zardoz-13 Indeed, writer & director Darrell Roodt's ultra-low-budget chiller "Dracula 3000" doesn't qualify as a masterpiece either Gothic or cinematic. Nevertheless, the premise promises more than it can muster with its futuristic adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel. Roodt and "White Lion" co-scenarist Ivan Milborrow never let things get too deep and some may object to the ending. Meaning, Roodt and company couldn't have made a legitimate sequel because everybody dies in the long run. Basically, what they have done is transferred Dracula into deep space and appropriated the setup from Ridley Scott's unforgettable creature feature "Alien." Mind you, movies about Dracula set in deep space are few and far between so "Dracula 3000" possesses some marginal distinction. One huge problem with this movie is that Dracula doesn't cut much of a figure. Roodt is no Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee, or Gary Oldman. Worse, he doesn't show up until 42 minutes after the film unfolds. Naturally, he is fleeing from a dying world, and he has loaded his multitude of coffins aboard the freighter. In this respect, "Dracula 3000" is like the novel because the Count took more coffins than "Nosferatu" and any other Dracula incarnation to his destination. Specifically, Roodt and company borrow only the basics from Stoker's novel. Dr. Seward doesn't put in an appearance, and a surprise awaits us about Van Helsing's descendant. As the skipper of the salvage ship "Mother III," Captain Abraham Van Helsing (Casper Van Diem of "Starship Troopers"), a distant relative of the original Van Helsing, learns about a derelict cargo ship "Demeter" that has been missing for 50 years. The interesting question here is why does it drift for half of a century. Even with the skipper dead on all the other ships, the vessel reached its destination. Dracula readers will remember that Dracula sailed to England aboard the Demeter, and the skipper died, bound to the wheel of the ship. I thought Roodt did an adequate job at preserving parts of the novel in the action. In this version, the Demeter's captain has left a video log of events. These clips are interspersed throughout the film and sometimes they seem almost haphazardly inserted into the action. Initially, Van Helsing worries that his five man crew will not be up to the task of salvaging this vast spaceship. Confined to a wheelchair, Professor Arthur "The Professor" Holmwood (Grant Swanby of "Starship Troopers 3: Marauder"), acts as their science officer, while two African-Americans perform the heavy lifting. Humvee (Tommy 'Tiny' Lister of "Friday") and a man simply designated 187 (Coolio of "Pain & Gain"), who grew up together in the same neighborhood, provide the comic relief. Fleshing out the cast are former Playboy bunny Erika Eleniak, cult European actor Udo Kier, Alexandra Kamp, and Langley Kirkwood portrays Dracula. Kirkwood looks sinister, but he doesn't surpass either Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee. He is dressed appropriately and makes atmospheric entries and exits. The ending is tragic with our heroes sacrificing themselves so that they can vanquish Dracula. The banter between Coolio—doing a hilarious stoner act—and grouchy Tiny Lister is amusing. Lister;s dialogue is rather profane but funny. The film would be considerably more tame without his presence. Coolio's death scene is a must see, particularly after he entices Van Helsing to shoot him repeatedly in the chest. Coolio milks his role for maximum effect. He looks cool with his fangs. "Dracula 3000" seems to have more than its share of detractors. The concept that God is no longer believed is different, too. The performances are okay, and "The Professor" uses some standard British rough language. Somebody could remake "Dracula 3000," beef up its production values, and cast some big names, and it might pass muster. Eleniak looks good in tight-fitting black.

jacobjohntaylor1 Don't get me wrong I think Dracula in space is an interesting concept. The acting was pretty good. But they wasted there talent. This movie is badly written. It had as an awful ending. Like a lot of the Dracula movies a lot of Dracula sequels are some of my favorite movies. But this one is awful. Do not wast your time. Do not wast your money do not see this movie. I could have been good. But is was not. I need more lines and I am running out of things to say. This movie pooh pooh. Pooh pooh, pooh pooh, pooh pooh. This is a pretty bad movie. Do not see this movie. It is so not scary. Bad movie bad movie bad movie bad movie bad movie.
